Derrico Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Posted July 21, 2016 I'm only for it as i think it takes a slightly higher but of football accumen to know who will theow the most TDs in any given season, minus Brady & Rogers. Fair enough. Not to give away my secrets but I thought I always could gain a competitive advantage by waiting to draft a QB. I would borderline laugh at anyone taking Rogers in the first round etc. as it was wayyy too early for a QB. Now these ppl will be rewarded..... Quote

Ive drafted Rogers/Brady/Brees in the late first round in nearly every draft I've been in and have never (minus one bad year from Brees) been disappointed. I think its way harder to gauge the 8th best RB. You can get the same production from a guy in the 5th round as a late 1st rd RB. QB in the 5th? Unless you lucked into Cam like i did last year in a different league, you could be drafting Tannehill or Bridgewater at that point. Quote
Derrico Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Ive drafted Rogers/Brady/Brees in the late first round in nearly every draft I've been in and have never (minus one bad year from Brees) been disappointed. I think its way harder to gauge the 8th best RB. You can get the same production from a guy in the 5th round as a late 1st rd RB. QB in the 5th? Unless you lucked into Cam like i did last year in a different league, you could be drafting Tannehill or Bridgewater at that point. See I'm the opposite. I've drafted QB early once or twice and am always disappointed. I feel like I'm ALWAYS scrambling for RB's when I do that. If I go get my stud RB and WR in first couple of rounds (usually 2 high end RB if I can) then I feel confident. I agree with you that it is somewhat difficult to gauge the 8th best running back. But it's way harder to gauge the 14th best running back which is likely who you will be selecting as your RB2. There are always QB's late that are serviceable for you in a 4TD QB league IMO. I do usually play in 10 team leagues so in a 12 team you are looking at lower end starters if you wait until the very end to pick them. But in my 10 team last year I got Brady late in one league. I just find I can evaluate QB that can work for me easier then evaluating late round running backs and constantly scouring the waiver wire for them. Just a different philosophy which makes this game fun. Edited July 21, 2016 by Derrico Quote
inkman Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 Brady last year was a gift at the hands Roger Goodell awaiting until the 11 O'Clock hour to hand out Brady's discipline. He was drafted behind some pretty mediocre QBs unless you had your draft 1 week before the season opener. Quote

He was drafted behind some pretty mediocre QBs unless you had your draft 1 week before the season opener. That's fair but my point still holds true that I have an easier ability to identifying mid round QB then identifying midround RB :P As I said, I'll go with majority. Our league will have some pretty high scoring games being PPR and if we move to 6 point QB TD's. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 Can we atleast have a formal vote on 6 point TDs? Looks like some are in favor, might be a majority? What was it last year? Quote
Derrico Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Posted July 21, 2016 What was it last year? 4 points per TD pass. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted July 22, 2016 Report Posted July 22, 2016 Can we please have the draft on a night that Woody can attend so he doesn't have an excuse for losing this year? :P Quote
LastPommerFan Posted July 22, 2016 Report Posted July 22, 2016 I'm ok for 6. I'd like to vote now also on the possibility of making it a partial keeper league. If we want to do this, we should decide before the draft. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted July 22, 2016 Report Posted July 22, 2016 Can I keep my wins from last year? :lol: Quote
WildCard Posted July 22, 2016 Report Posted July 22, 2016 Can I keep my wins from last year? :lol: Only if I can. I'm going to need them just to reach .500 I'm ok for 6. I'd like to vote now also on the possibility of making it a partial keeper league. If we want to do this, we should decide before the draft. I'd like this too. Quote
Derrico Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Posted July 22, 2016 League rules have now been changed to 6 point TD for QB. We can vote on having a one player keeper league. I vote no on that. Can we please have the draft on a night that Woody can attend so he doesn't have an excuse for losing this year? :P This! Quote
Derrico Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Posted July 22, 2016 I'm torn on the keeper. I actually probably wouldn't mind it but there were a couple people who were dead set against it during the discussion last offseason. Quote
Derrico Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Posted July 22, 2016 Just a thought here, and it's outside the box, so if nobody likes it then no problem. What if (starting next years draft) the team that wins the championship gets to choose which position they want to start in the draft the next year? The runner up would get second choice etc., all the way down to the team that comes in last getting whichever of the 12 spots in the draft is left? It would be the reverse tanking type of thing that hockey has. This may encourage people to still make lineup changes etc. late in the season even if they're out of the playoffs. It's not a huge incentive as it would still be a snake draft format but would probably give the slightest of advantages. Thoughts? Quote

TrueBlueGED Posted July 22, 2016 Report Posted July 22, 2016 Is it possible to do an auction draft online? I've never done and they seem like a ton of fun, but not sure how (or if) it'd work online. Quote
Derrico Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Posted July 22, 2016 They seem interesting but think we will just stick to the tried and true live draft....I'm not even sure how an online auction would work. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Posted July 22, 2016 Can we please have the draft on a night that Woody can attend so he doesn't have an excuse for losing this year? :PHaha, Damn you, at least it was a legit excuse ;) and to be fair, I probably did better with the autodtaft Quote
Norcal Posted August 11, 2016 Report Posted August 11, 2016 Do we have a draft date and time yet? Quote
qwksndmonster Posted August 11, 2016 Report Posted August 11, 2016 :( I can't handle the NFL anymore. Unless it's a fictional player being played by Denzel's son. Quote
